Train the Workforce: Status prior to 2003
Biomanufacturing industry in NC was poised for major growth, but couldn’t find enough qualified employees.
Community colleges were critically under funded.
Universities needed more industrially-targeted curricula, as well as facilities.
The state responded with Golden LEAF funding.
The Biomanufacturing and Pharmaceutical Training Consortium was launched.
